Re: DWM Hackers Unite! Share (or request) dwm patches.

I'm thinking about how to make dwm cycle trough tags that have 1 (or more) clients in it. I know that it is not so great thing to ask since tags in dwm are very powerfull thing but i just want that in dwm. Any patch to recommend for this?

Re: DWM Hackers Unite! Share (or request) dwm patches.

I'm using this patch, and the scratchpad itself works like a charm. For some reason, though, the spawned urxvt instance doesnt read .Xdefaults, and looks so ugly it makes onions cry. Any idea as to why this would be the case?

No: rather than continue to pollute a thread about hacking dwm with a trivial issue that you are obviously unwilling to put any effort yourself into solving I just read the man page...

Read the Forum Etiquette, learn how to ask for help properly and, if someone does offer a suggestion, do them the courtesy of actually trying it rather than just shrugging it off -- particularly when you haven't provided any other information about your setup for them to go on.

You call your post a suggestion? Well, I guess I learned two things from you then.

My humblest apologies for polluting the thread and being so impolite as to think you were condescending to who you think of as a stupid newbie who is too lazy to read man pages and google his problems before annoying the folks here. I sincerely thank JokerBoy and wolfcore for trying to help me, and shall now take my stuff elsewhere. Have a nice day.

Hi there,

I've been using dwm for the past couple of months, and have found this thread really useful.

I've put together a really simple script to display a shutdown confirmation (just using a floating xterm window - much like all of the scratchpad discussions on here). Does anyone know how I can get the window centered without having to hard code co-ordinates in the xterm geometry parameter? I use multiple monitors with different resolutions, so the co-ordinates would be different for each monitor.

Re: DWM Hackers Unite! Share (or request) dwm patches.

A very imperfect, though working solution for similar problems is to write a simple script which calls xterm with the parameters you want, includng '-e your-script.sh' at the end. The same can be done within config.h as a command definition.
